Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has provided a fresh fitness update on his side ahead of their trip to take on Manchester City.
Following their 0-0 draw with Atalanta, the Gunners boss revealed that there are “not really” any new injuries, but admitted that Martin Odegaard’s absence is still unclear.
“We need to see the development in the next week or so, how the ankle reacts first of all and then the staff will give me an update on the timeframe and how long he’ll be out for”, he explained.
Quizzed on the opposition, he added that “we’ve been preparing for this since pre-season” and that “we’re making sure that everyone is ready for it, because we’re going to need them, especially with the injuries that we had from the international break.”
Can Arsenal finally pick up three points at the Etihad and set down a title marker?
